On the go on stainless steel

Clean on the go: EAP Lachnit's conveyor belts are among other things suitable for the piece goods transport of meat or vegetables.

EAP Lachnit specializes in conveying technology, which is available in stainless steel design and thus meets the high requirements of the food and pharmaceutical industries.

The EAP Lachnit conveyor technology portfolio includes, among other things, ascending conveyor belts equipped with rollers, which are also mobile and ready for use.

The support plates from EAP Lachnit can also be equipped with metal detectors if needed, for example, to check frozen meat blocks for metal.

The material flow in the food and pharmaceutical industries places very special demands on conveyor systems. Legal requirements must be met, and operations in humid, hot, or cold environments must run smoothly, just like the quick and thorough cleaning of individual components or an entire system. The systems from EAP Lachnit meet the highest hygiene standards with their stainless steel constructions and refined surfaces and comply with both national and international legal requirements. The southern German manufacturer offers an extensive portfolio of standard products as well as custom solutions for the diverse applications in these industries.

The food and pharmaceutical industries, along with their customers and consumers, impose high demands on the quality of the produced products. Therefore, especially in conveyor processes in production and logistics, the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene must be maintained. Conveyor belts have a decisive influence here because they come into “contact” with the goods, need to deliver precisely for further processing, and must be robust against mechanical and chemical stresses. For food producers, it is also important that legal requirements are met and that low operating costs enable cost-effective production. Meeting these high demands can only be achieved by experienced providers with appropriate products. The conveyor technology specialist EAP Lachnit has specialized in conveyor technology available in stainless steel and thus meets the high requirements of the food and pharmaceutical industries.

The solution portfolio of EAP Lachnit is as diverse as the practical demands and includes flat and inclined conveyor belts, curved, knick, and Z-conveyor belts, roller conveyors, belt conveyors for piece goods or bulk goods, as well as solutions for frozen meat blocks up to complete batching systems. Depending on the requirements, the systems are partially or fully made of stainless steel. Due to their structural properties, careful manufacturing, high-quality components, and special surfaces, they are quick, easy, and thorough to clean.

Robust in use

Stainless steel conveyor technology should be used wherever high standards of hygiene and cleanliness are required, especially in wet areas. The conveyor systems are characterized by food resistance and resistance to cleaning agents and meet the DIN EN 13570 standard for food machinery as well as strict American FDA guidelines. Upon request, they are also available in explosion-proof versions according to EU Directive 2014/34/EU with ATEX certification and approved for explosive environments zones 1, 2, 21, and 22, classification Ex II 2 GD c, explosion groups II A / II B, and temperature class T4, 135°C.

The robust construction combined with high-quality components makes the conveyor systems highly resistant to moisture and operation in cold or heat. Their reliability, performance, and long service life have a very positive effect on operational safety and thus on operating costs.

Solutions for every application

As versatile as the requirements in the food and pharmaceutical industries are, so are the solutions from EAP Lachnit. In addition to conveyor belts in various lengths and widths, there are also conveyor systems for bridging height differences or for very tight spaces. EAP Lachnit also offers solutions for the most diverse transport goods (e.g., piece goods or bulk goods)—either as standard products or customized configurations. Optional accessories such as metal detectors, frequency converters for adjustable belt speeds, and rotational monitoring are available. Integration of conveyor systems into existing material flow or production lines is also possible. The engineers of the southern German company are available to advise interested parties and customers.
